in 2011, the trading sheet for Victoria Beckham's fashion enterprises dipped into the red. But in 2012, turnover more than doubled to £15 million, leaving a tidy profit of just below £1.5 million, and it's largely thanks to her lower-priced line.

Documents obtained from Companies House show that Beckham's sister line, Victoria, Victoria Beckham helped Beckham Ventures Limited turn a profit. Cited as a key driver in growing the company's revenues, the line was launched in 2011 and features dresses with a starting price of £495. Gowns from the Spice Girl turned designer's main line start from around £1,300.

The designer, whose business is based in south London, presents her two collections during New York Fashion Week, which takes place biannually. She has spoken of her desire to build a business that "will stand the test of time" and launched an e-commerce website in March this year.
